A bit expensive to get in, but once you are in and walking around viewing all the great animals there you soon seem to forget about the price! Took some really great photos today and even managed to capture some of the new baby Red Panda. It was just a shame I couldn't get closer to some of the animals - still there is always next time!

We took our three year old grandson for a day trip. He had a wonderful time watching the big cats, my passion is tigers and they have two amazing white tigers, white lions, beautiful leopards and snow leopards. The meerkats are great fun to watch as well. All the animals are easy to see and there are built up walkways so you can look at the big cats from above the enclosure without the wire fence obscuring you view. He loved all the adventure playgrounds dotted around the park, and loved the jungle gym located with the cafe which served lovely baguettes and hot Pannini which were not too expensive. I highly recommend it, great value for money, we were there for five hours and other than something to eat, and £1 fare for the train, everything was included in the entrance fee. We shall return with his sisters soon.

1st of all the Park I think isn't great. I found the enclosures quite small and I really don't like seeing the beautiful animals cooped up! The food areas are o.k. but this park is really for little kids!!! you will be sitting on plastic chairs and eating with plastic forks....

I loved however the petting farm! I do like feeding the goats :) and the best bit of all we met the meerkats! We were very lucky that it was only myself and my sister on the experience so we had lots of time with them :) Our guide was excellent! really sorry cant remember his name! Loved petting the meerkats and REALLY wanted to take one home!!!! Would definitely come for another experience but wouldn't go back for the park.

To be honest im probably too old for wandering around zoos but- we visited 12th September and were a bit stunned at how much wasnt avaliable to do- lots of the kiosks were closed, place looked a bit grubby and the staff had quiet an intense argument in front of the few visitors wandering around. So 4 adults £16 each-and total waste of time.

Went here last week with the hubby and baby and it was a nice family day out.

A friend of mine had been there on a tiger feeding experience day and she raved about it.

So I was expecting loads of tigers and sadly only saw 1 Orange tiger which was all they had. And we had to wait till 5pm to find it at feeding time. We tried at various points in the day to find it around its enclosure with no joy.

However the white lion family was good as we got there when people went in to feed them and do pictures so got to watch that.

Would definitely go again in a few years when baby is up and running around as they have loads to do including a splash pool. Perfect for the summer Sun.

An amazing day, i was fortunate to have a 'big cat experience' i chose rocky the black and gold tiger, the place is immaculate, animals in very good condition, well fed and cared for, camera is essential, you can get really close to the animals. Food.. burgers, hotdogs, paninis etc all reasonably priced, no more expensive than any other day out. Plan for all day as there is so much to see, the keepers give talks throughout the day and are very informative and enthusiastic, also feeding time for the animals are listed, so you can plan which you want to see.
This is not a zoo with alot of large animals, it specialises in a very extensive cat collection, snow leopards, white lions, white tigers, jaguars etc, a must though for big cat lovers.
There is also alot for young kiddies to do, lots of attractions, but i think some of them you pay for seperately.
all in all a great day out

I visited the park on a day out with work; shame the weather was raining although this funny hinder the visit.
The park is small although has a fair range of things to see, animals birds etc. Plenty if good places as well.
Nice visit although I wouldn't have gone if it wasn't a work trip.

Lovely family day out, especially good for the under 10s. Our six year old grandaughter had a fabulous day with plenty of animals to see and plenty to play on. Thoroughly good day spoilt only by the expensive food and drink, which is normally the case when visiting zoos etc . Four hotdogs £16, plus coffees and drinks all day add up to a tidy penny. Would certainly visit again but if going with a few children would certainly recommend taking packed lunches for them.

We took our grand children to the Wildlife park last week. We haven't visited for years, and what a pleasant surprise. There are lots of things for the children to play on one side of the park ad the animals are the other. The thing that I liked most was that you are so close to the animals and there is an upstairs part so that you can see them all. The keepers went into the cheetahs den and fed them by hand. Amazing! There was a white tiger and a white lion which were stunning. We also went to see the birds fly, which was very interesting. A lovely day out and the children wanted to know when they could go back there ( 7 and 9 years old). That is a very good sign they had a great time.

I recently organised a large group to visit the park. Dispite the weather being against us, we had a wonderful day. The park is extensive, catering for all ages. The animals appear to be happy within their enclosures and your able to get up close for some great pictures.
We enjoyed 5 hours walking around and could have easily stayed longer. Worth every penny.

What a wonderful place for children! My daughter loves it there, and its so well planned out that even her auntie and uncle can take her without worrying about changing facilities etc.

Very interesting place, variety of animals to see and plenty for the kiddies with slides and parks. They also get to feed some of the farmyard animals my son really enjoyed this. We shall be visiting again as we loved it so much :)

What a fantastic place! Endless fun all day long - plenty of spaced out talks/feeds.. Play area, picnic area, splash lagoon, rides, bouncy castle, slide, playground, train rides, indoor play !!! Then there are all the incredible animals - beautiful big cats !!!!!!! Informative friendly staff - we spent the WHOLE day at Paradise Wildlife Park and still need to come back to see and do more !!
Thank you for an amazing visit !

We love visiting Paradise Wildlife Park, definitely one of our favourite days out.
We've visited loads of times over the years and - as the Park develops constantly - there are always fascinating things to do and see.
I particularly love the big cats and my daughter is obsessed with wolves so we are in our element. The staff have been fantastic, offering help and advise with her recent school project and have gone that extra mile to support her.
We've also adopted red pandas and booked an animal experience for this year.

The animals all seem to be happy and have plenty of space and care.

Can't recommend it highly enough!

Graham and I took the grandchildren Cameron aged 11 and Lucy who is 9, here yesterday. We all had a really great time (and to be honest Graham and I didn't think we would really - it was a trip for the kids). Plenty of places to eat either snacks or bbq food or you can take your own. The staff put on shows/quizzes on the little stage in which the children can join in. There's a lovely play area for the kids which Lucy spent an hour in and there were slides and other things suitable for her age group. There were bouncy castles, other play stuff and a splash pool for younger children. The four of us then went round the animal enclosure. I've never really understood what people would get from going on a safari but now I understand!! The animals have so much space and such a variety from white lions, camels, smaller animals that children can feed eg goats and sheep to meercats. An emu ate from the palm of my hand, its beak is rounded so it didn't hurt. I then fed a reindeer, whose lips felt like soft velvet on my hand. One of the tigers came right up to a fence and we were so close to it. There are keepers around who obviously love the animals and are happy to engage with the children. We spent ages ages going round. We rounded the day off with a game of adventure golf on their excellent 18 hole course. We just about finished by 6.00 when the park closed. We went home weary but oh so pleased to have visited. Truly a place for the young and not so young.

The zoo sell bags of animal feed at £1 each. You have to watch out for signs as only certain animals can eat this food.

I've just spotted a review from a woman who says she 'felt sorry for the white tiger because its enclosure is increadibly small' She couldn't have seen all the walkways and tunnels that all the animals seemed to be able to access in their own particular enclosure.

All Iknow is, we had a really good day - the sun shining all day was a bonus!!

It's impossible to write a review that covers all aspects, because the number of attractions is so enormous. Sufficient to say that any child of any age will find lots of fun things to do here there's so much parkland play equipment. We went to visit the zoo. Both of us are professional scientists, so we're interested the the standard of the collections, the way the animals are displayed, the information provided, and the contribution to conservation and breeding programmes. On all of these accounts I would rate Paradise Wildlife Park excellent. The strongly attractive aspects of the zoo collection are these: the animals are housed in excellent conditions, with plenty of space; animals and their enclosures are kept very clean - no "zoo smells" here; all the animals are happy, who love being looked after by highly professional keepers. We paid extra to have a special tour (experience) with a zookeeper. She was with the group (two dozen) for at least two hours, and gave fascinating insights into the animals. The strong collections here are tigers, small primates, some farmyard animals, animals that kids like to see in picture books (zebra, camels, that sort of thing), there's a gorgeous reptile house where the snakes and easy to see and very nicely displayed. The venue has the standard sorts of catering one gets at this kind of attraction in England, plus a good souvenir shop, an adequate tea room, plenty of picnic space, plenty of outdoor seating. Some of the animals are displayed publicly at a set time. I loved the owls, for example. Unusually for a zoo, there are a few animals for which you can buy some tid bits of food, and let the children feed by hand - we saw this being done with zebra. We won't hesitate to go here again as a larger group. We'd like to take our grandchild who lives in France. The entrance fee seems high (a party of two adults and three children will pay about £75) but the running costs are £8500 a day, 365 days of the year. The entrance fee includes 20% VAT. The Park receives no grants or subsidies from public funds

First time of being here and will defo be returning. Don't know why i haven't been here before!!! Great variety of animals, lovely staff members who actually engaged with the children when they spoke to them, lovely play area and the splash pool is great for a quick dip. Pleased the carpark is close to pop back for picnic bag. Overall excellent and fun.

Paradise Wildlife Park is wonderful day out for everyone. This is different from other Animal Parks open to the public. You can get much closer to the animals with some really great views from walkways and balconies. They are also part of the Wildlife Heritage Foundation so are big on conservation and really care for the animals who have great enclosures. The keepers are really friendly and informative and you can see, dedicated to what they do. There is also a very personal feel about the Park. So, if you want a great day out with the Kids (as well as seeing the animals, there are lots of facilities and activities for them) or to learn more interesting information about animals and get some really good photographs, this is the place to go. They also offer wonderful experiences. We have been to park on a general days out, but have also had the opportunity to feed the big cats and shadow a big at keeper which was amazing. If you love cats, these are the most fantastic experiences.

I visited for the first time at the beginning of the month.
It was a nice sized park with a lot of animals.
I liked that most of the play areas were on the opposite side of the park to the animals as it was a lot more peaceful walking round.

Most of the animals were easy to spot (didn't see the wolves unfortunately) but the enclosures are a good size and there are places for the animals to hide away from visitors if they want.

I felt quite uncomfortable around the white tigers. Nothing personal against the individual animals but it's hard to watch them knowing their genetic history.
I'm hoping white lions don't end up the same way. The cub was gorgeous and a real daddy's girl but I do hope the park (and WHF) is very careful about how they breed these animals.

It was a good day out. We only had a limited amount of time but next time we'll spend the whole day there!

I ordered our tickets on line which was cheaper.
They have rearrange and updated the parking and some of the attractions.
We enjoyed the displays, talks and demonstrations.

They had a cafe which looked out on the Tiger which was fab!

If you're in to big cats it is a great place to visit. The white tiger cup stole the show.
The big cat talk was really great, the chap was very knowledgeable and friendly. Forget his name, sorry!

The place was wheelchair friendly with access to most high view points by ramp.

The parks has a paddling pool for young children

We spent all day there and enjoyed every minute.

Next time I go I'll consider one of there ' experiences ' like, follow a keeper or feed a tiger etc

Visited a few weeks ago with our 1 year old, had a lovely day out, loved looking at the big cats and the other animals...our little one enjoyed the tumble jungle and the playground so everyone happy will definitely be back soon!

I took my children to paradise wildlife park a few months back and it's a lovely little place. You have the opportunity to purchase food so the children can feed Zebra,reindeer,and farm animals. All the animals are easy to see for young children and it isn't too hard to find your way around. The shop is very reasonably priced and overall we had a lovely time.

Had very good day out granddaughter found it amazing a really good day out for all the family and friends have recommend to a couple of friends and they have been too

I have been coming to Paradise Wildlife Park for 20 years now and it just gets better and better. The staff are brilliant there, so friendly and informative, in all the years I have been going there, they have always been great. Last time I went, I was lucky enough to see a member of staff training the cheetahs, it was incredible to watch and I would love to see that again!

There is a huge variety of animals; Penguins, Meerkats, Lions, White Tigers, Wolves, Leopards and so many more. There are many birds of prey, reptiles and there is even a Bat cave which you can go inside. You could never be disappointed by the amount of animals there are and they are all so easy to get a really good look at. One of my favourite things is the Lorikeet enclosure which you can walk through, you pay for a cup of nectar and go in and all the birds come and land on you, which is such a lovely experience and they are beautiful birds. There really is so much to do, with plenty of shows and you can also see the big cats getting fed. A big hit with kids, is always the petting farm and you can pay £1 for a bag of food to feed the Pigs, Goats and Sheep.

The zoo is always spotless and has a restaurant with a nice place to sit and eat outside too. There are also plenty of little outlets around the zoo, selling food and drink. There is a wonderful giftshop and a great play area and mini arcade bit for the children, which as a child, I absolutely loved. There is also a crazy golf course, which I think you pay extra for, but is still a nice addition. It is very easy to get around as it is so well mapped and sign posted.

You can also do many experiences; such as feeding Tigers or if you're feeling less daring, maybe feeding and meeting the Meerkats or a Red Pandas. You can also do other experiences, like shadowing a keeper for the day. The choice really is endless and I hope to do one of them one day!

There are so many things to do and see at Paradise Wildlife Park, whenever I go there, I stay there for hours. Definitely one of my favourite places to visit. I couldn't recommend it more!

Paradise Wildlife Park is a wonderful day out with a great variety of things to do for all ages! I visited with my two year old niece and she loved seeing all the animals, but there was also lots of other things to entertain her such as the outdoor playground, soft play area, train ride, bouncy castle, paddling pool etc.

I have also visited a few times with my friends and we have enjoyed the keeper talks and animal feeds which are very interesting and informative. You can tell that the keepers are very passionate about their work and have a wonderful relationship with the animals in their care. It is also great to see the work they do towards conservation. All of the animals look very content and healthy and have lovely enclosures. The enclosures are well designed for the animals and also well thought out for visitors to enjoy seeing the animals. As a wildlife photographer enthusiast this is a great place to visit to see a great collection of big cats and other favourites like red pandas, otters and wolves! I look forward to visiting many more times in the future!
